Hemothorax drainage via thoracotomy

skin incision was performed fascia and subcutaneous tissue were entered with electrocautery obtaining hemostasis simultaneously. the pleural cavity was entered, and clots were removed as well as blood. Once clots were removed, the cavity was irrigated. Approximately a total of 1.5-2L of blood and blood clots were removed. Two chest tubes were placed in the pleural cavity. Total hemostasis was ascertained. Packing was left behind, and the patient was actively resuscitated throughout the operation. Help with CPT I was looking at 32120 however this code says it’s for control of traumatic hemorrhage this was noted as tension hemothorax..32120-52?? any help would be much appreciated.
